Sales Leadership Expertise On Demand

Hitting a wall in your sales career is a good sign: you’re about to transform. You know you’re not reaching your potential. Let’s look beyond that wall, clarify your vision for success, and get you moving toward it.

Over two decades of sales leadership, I have met many people like you who believe in what they’re selling and love what they do—but can’t close enough sales to get comfortable in their career. The hustle is wearing you out, and something must change. Well, I’ve got some great and terrifying news:

You are what must change. And you ultimately control the behaviors that will spark that evolution.

I’m not here to sell you on more processes that take time out of your day. But this is much more than a mindset shift. My programs focus on your communication style and how you approach the challenges and opportunities right before you. First, we establish a clear view of where you’re going and then focus on the moves that will get you there.

Would you believe that the thing you’re missing is a positive self-image?

You are selling the same service that hundreds of other reps are selling. So, when it comes down to it, what your prospects are looking for is a reason to say YES to you.

It’s not the transaction...it’s the testimony

Your corporation gave you its framework for sales success: a way to package your services, some marketing materials, and a sales process. And if you’re an entrepreneur, you built it yourself. But that’s not everything you need to succeed.

Don’t keep it to yourself! Lift your whole team

Do you work with a professional organization or a sales network? Many of your associates are probably fighting the same battle. Let’s offer them the same opportunity to find their YEStimonial and evolve their sales career!

  • Slide title

    Donna helped me immensely with client retention and sales. I had a high-profile but high-maintenance client that was requesting services of me that were beyond my scope of work. While talking to Donna, I learned how to effectively communicate my position in a positive way that the client could understand and as a result was able to retain the client. She is exceptional.

    Having always been on the receiving end of asks and pitches throughout my 30+ years in corporate America Donna taught me the formula for making a successful "ask" as an executive coach. Her advice vastly improved my conversion rate and I'll be forever grateful for tapping into her wisdom early on!

  • Oh Donna – always so warm and engaging. On paper and off Donna has a gift for breaking things down into simple terms and creating easy, actionable steps. This book is a fantastic reminder that we often unintentionally lose connections at the first encounter. And if you get the chance to see her live, go for it – she’s a wonderful speaker and there is nothing like being in her presence!
